I cannot listen to this song without my eyes almost immediately tearing up. Have two shots of cheap whiskey before hitting play.

Tom Waits' Top 20 Albums

Ever hear that quote “talking about music is like dancing about architecture?” I think Steve Martin said it. Well, when Tom Waits talks about his top 20 albums, it’s like watching a 5-part interpretive dance cycle about Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s absolutely beautiful. Case in point (about Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica):

The roughest diamond in the mine, his musical inventions are made of bone and mud. Enter the strange matrix of his mind and lose yours. This is indispensable for the serious listener. An expedition into the centre of the earth, this is the high jump record that’ll never be beat, it’s a merlot reduction sauce. He takes da bait. Dante doing the buck and wing at a Skip James suku jump. Drink once and thirst no more.

Read them.

Wisdom

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, “The Beatles did”.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
